Avoid driving at maximum speed with a heavily loaded vehicle. Check the temperature of the tires: if the tire is the temperature of your hand, then everything is fine. A hot tire is dangerous: most often, it has too little air pressure or a damaged carcass. Do not trust such tires on the road - at least until a tire specialist has checked the carcass for possible damage.
If you often drive on the motorway at high speed, fit tyres with a speed rating one class higher than required in the vehicle's registration document (e.g. T instead of S, etc.).
Make sure that the side of the tire does not hit the curb when parking. Always roll over curbs and thresholds slowly and at right angles.
Always increase the air pressure in your tires by 0.3 bar - this saves fuel and does not damage the tires.
Correct wheel replacement
If you change your tires for the first time with a new spare tire, you will save cash, provided that the product is still supplied with the same profile. In this case, buy another tire for the spare, and you have new tires on one axle. However, you can increase the life of your tires: regularly swap the wheels on one side of the car, i.e. not crosswise. This way, your tires will wear more evenly, and then the next time you buy them, your car will have four new tires. The disadvantage of this method: when changing after short mileages, you will no longer be able to clearly recognize possible defects in the wheel suspension, steering and shock absorbers by the tire profile. When changing tires, always make sure that tires of the same manufacturer, the same profile and the same production date (±1 year) are installed in pairs on the axle.
